Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? ;)

I would go with Aquabrass Martini based on the looks.
I have seen Aquabrass products here and there for many years. At terrylove.com I have read about Aquabrass installs. Five years ago I bought Aquabrass for two bathrooms.

Hi Eric,
Like you, I did major research for my materials. I was able to check out my faucet before ordering at a store that only carries high-end fixtures and bought a widespread Graff Infinity online. You don't need to give the quality a second thought. Love It!

Davidro1, I was able to find the Aqua Brass Martini at a bath showroom over the weekend. It definitely looks great. My concern with it is the wide opening in the bottom of the spout; if the water isn't turned on fully, creating a wide ribbon of flowing water, I wonder how it flows. It looks like water could trickle down the bottom of the spout back to the base. Or maybe it's designed to function as well as it looks -- I just can't tell. I'm reluctant to buy it without being able to see one hooked up. (In our guest bath, we purchased a pricey Cifial faucet with seems to be great quality and works nicely with the water at full stream, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't work well -- water stream breaks into three fragments -- with the water only partially on. I don't want to spend the money on the Martini and have a similar result.) But it's hard enough to find one in a showroom; finding one hooked up is a nearly impossible task.

kbacci14, thanks for the vote of confidence on Graff. I've checked a couple moderately high-end bath showrooms and haven't seen one yet. I wasn't planning to spend as much as these faucets cost, but if I could see one, and it it appeals to me as much as the photos do, we might splurge for it. Hmmm, let's see, this would be splurge #37 or #38 so far on this project... ;) And, of course, I've procrastinated on this decision, and now need to get a faucet quickly because granite templating is coming up very soon.

I know what you mean about going by the photos. I didn't want to do it either, because I've seen how a good photographer can make anything look great with the proper lighting. I hadn't come across any Graff faucets in any of the showrooms that I shopped at and was actually referred to a place that I was unfamiliar with by the Graff website. It was a store that specialized in one of a kind custom vanities none of which I could even come close to affording, but they sure made me drool! I tend to go overboard with the splurges myself, but knew that the faucet tends to be the thing that really catches my attention since it's the eye level jewelry.
